hipster stylish

As men, it’s important that we’re always stepping up our game– if you don’t, the lady in your life may just start sending hints your way!

As a Capetonian (yes, I’m from Cape Town, South Africa), I’m always on the lookout for stylish establishments that’ll help me up my game in various ways. I thought I’d make a list of my top three haunts in various categories in my own city. Hopefully these will inspire you – why not share some of the best places in your own city in the comments below!

Top barbers:

Red Rum Culture Club

Such a great atmosphere and very friendly – not to mention affordable! They don’t just do a haircut, they go above and beyond.

Scar

A cray team full of energy they will make sure you leave feeling on top of the world. Also, you can have a good coffee while you’re getting your hair done.

Barnet Fair Barber Shop

These guys take pride and ownership in what they do. They have a range of beard oils and hair products that will ensure your hair is looking sleek and on fleek.

Top tattoo parlours:

Sins Of Style

You can tell they have taken their time and money and made sure that they are the leading tattoo shop within Cape Town. They’re a little pricey, but I’d rather spend the money on ink that will last forever, and that looks brilliant.

Cape Electric

These guys are full of energy and they have been around for a long time. It’s always a good sign when a team or a company withstand the test of time!

Palm Black Tattoo

They’ve created a fresh atmosphere, and their website is amazing. They’re always welcoming, and their art is incredible.

Top clothing stores:

H&M

There’s a great atmosphere in store, and they’re very affordable. This store will keep you on top of the trend and won’t break your wallet.

River Island

River Island has been around for years. They’re responsible for some great quality products, including jackets, shoes, and awesome leather wear that is genuine and stands out in a crowd.

Sgt Pepper

They have created an outstanding clothing line. It may be a bit pricey, but you can’t put a price on quality anyway – so head to their website website asap!
